(Get the code!)
Testing Oneiric Alpha 3 on an Insprion 1122 with an ATI video card. I had issues with screen corruption when connecting an external display using the OSS driver, so I opened Jockey and tried using the Proprietary driver instead.
This was even worse, however, because I was almost unable to use the system while the proprietary driver was loaded. I had to drop to a shell and use jockey-text to remove it before I could use the system again.
So, the proprietary driver that Jockey is suggesting for ATI cards in Oneiric Alpha 3 breask the system. The driver needs to be fixed, or blacklisted from Jockey so that users don't end up with an unusable Oneiric system.
